Back to the Dead Men Don't Waear Plaid, I they hads better footage available, at the time, I'm they they would have used.I didn't refer as a restoration, but like a new edition, case the director desired.

Now WHY would Universal want to go to the great expense---MUCH higher than what it cost back in 1982--to find better footage AND re-impose the Steve Martin content for a re-release Blu-Ray that will have only limited sales? They would never recoup such an expense.

The screen shot quality on Blu-Ray com looks very good---what more could one want?I have owned this title on both 35mm film and DVD and it looks great--far better than other 1982 special effects.

I refered about movies that was already restored or already had better footage found.I didn't said it didn't look good overal, but some scenes maybe could look better if they already found better elements. From 1982 to today many things happened in the film restoration world.

For example, some guy took Moroder's versionh of Metropolis and, using the FW.Murnau Stifftung restoration, edited it like Moroder but using the restored footage.
